One who hears my words with full faith soon vanquishes all
misery.
Whatever you know of this world and whatever is in this
world has all come out of me.
Little by little, through patience and repeated effort, the
mind will become stilled in the Self.
Whatever you know of this world and whatever is in this
world has all come out of me.
It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to
live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.
When you feel the suffering of every living thing in your
own heart that is consciousness.
The best type of yogi is he who feels for others, whether in
grief or pleasure even as he feels for himself.
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 9 Reflection
Delusion breeds sorrows, knowledge produces joy. The universe is pain-ridden because it is delusion-projected. (9.18)
Wherever and whenever an egocentric action, whipped by selfish desire, is undertaken, gross and painful reactions must necessarily ensue. (9.9)
To live in the ego as a mere embodied self is to live self-exiled from all the Divine potentialities that one is heir to. (9.17)
Complete happiness and satisfaction, perfect contentment and peace, lie only in the innermost precincts of the heart and not in the extrovert fields of profit and success, glory and fame. (9.24)
A devotee who can constantly remember the Divine in all his contacts in life is alone the one who can give to life the respect and reverence that it deserves. (9.27)
